Friday Snapshots

Happy Friday! Here are some snapshots of my life lately.

I was in charge of the newspaper booth at PSU’s back to school bash on Wednesday. The back to school bash is always fun because a free lunch is provided, students get to sign up for clubs (like newspaper club–woo!), and play games. And hang out with the school mascot…

Jimmy and I are reading the book of Proverbs together. There’s much wisdom in Proverbs!

I am clearly really, really good at drawing huskies and pumpkins. I’m pretty sure the husky has a stink eye goin’ on.

Brandy got walked twice in one day. She slept so hard!

Jimmy and I went to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival for the third year in a row. It never gets old! I posted about it in 2011 and 2012.

Coffee never gets old, either. Ever.

Well, I’m off to start my Friday. I have some interviews to conduct for an article I’m currently working on. Yay for journalism!

I also wrote my first editorial of the semester the other day. It’s about Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance. You can check it out here, on PSU’s student newspaper website.

What are you up to this weekend?!
I’ve got something crazy going on tomorrow. It’s going to be very similar to this experience!

Swim meet tomorrow morning

This time tomorrow morning (6:50AM) I will be on my way to a swim meet. It is called The Polar Bear Plunge. (Brrr!)

(YMCA State Championship @ PSU circa 2009. Yes, I am dancing.)

I got to pick most of my events but I couldn’t swim some of my favorites because I qualified for “higher” meets in those races. I will be swimming: (My seed times are wrong because I am on a new team so my coaches guessed, I hope to knock them out of the park!)

100 yard butterfly – 1:25.75 (I can get around a 1:12ish..if I try HAHA)

200 yard breaststroke – 2:58.15 (Not sure what my real time is in this?!)

100 yard freestyle – 1:08.15 (I typically get a 1:04, but I got a 59.00 once!)

We were super excited…

So there you have it. I posted some times on the internet.. oh no!! LOL. I could care less. I will post the times that I got at this meet on Saturday night or Sunday.

My goals for this swim meet:

-Beat all of my seed times, by a lot.

-Cheer my little sister on (She is swimming the 50 fly, 100 I.M., & 50 breast)

-Stay loose/stretched out

-Get homework done in my down time

-Have a good time!

Obviously I know how to have a good time 😉 Look, the news is on!!

I am ready for this meet tomorrow morning. My next meet might be in March, which is a big gap but I will have a lot of time to work on what ever I do wrong at this meet! Well I am off to start my Friday.

Bible Verse of the day:

You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Psalm 32:7
